Copyright Policy
YouPlus Media, LLC and its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, “You+Media” or “Company”) respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users to do the same. You+Media has no responsibility for content on other web sites that you may find or access when using Company’s products or services. Material available on or through other web sites may be protected by copyright and the intellectual property laws of the United States and/or other countries. The terms of use or service and/or copyright policies of those web sites, and not the You+Media Terms of Service, govern your use of that material.
It is You+Media’s policy, in its sole discretion, to remove content, disable and/or terminate the accounts of users who violate this policy, infringe or are accused of infringing the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of You+Media and/or others. You+Media requires all users and members to affirm that they hold the copyright or have appropriate permission for the content that they upload and/or post on You+Media web sites.
General Copyright Information
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Title II, Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act (OCILLA), creates a safe harbor for online service providers (OSPs, including ISPs), such as You+Media, against copyright liability if they adhere to and qualify for certain prescribed safe harbor guidelines and promptly block access to allegedly infringing material (or remove such material from their systems) if they receive a notification claiming infringement from a copyright holder or the copyright holder’s agent. OCILLA also includes a counter-notification provision that offers OSPs a safe harbor from liability to their users, if the notice from such users claiming that the material in question is not, in fact, infringing. OCILLA also provides for subpoenas to OSPs to provide their users’ identity.
Copyright Infringement Prevention
You+Media makes it clear in our Terms of Service and at the time of the upload of any content that a user must own the copyright to the content they post or have permission from the copyright holder. We take copyright issues seriously and encourage copyright holders to contact us if they have any objections to specific videos, and we will cooperate with them to take down any infringing content promptly. Repeat and flagrant offenders of the Terms of Service are addressed appropriately.
